We've reached 20 pages on the previous Name the Game thread, and so I'm starting another one. If anyone would like to view the previous Name the Game thread, you'll find Page 1 of the thread here.


For those who are joining us for the first time for Name the Game, this is the procedure:


One person (hereinafter known as "It") posts a clue to an adventure game. The clue can be simple or difficult or straightforward or creative. Clues can be information about characters or events or puzzles or more (though we do try to stay away from outright puzzle spoilers).

Everyone who wishes to participate can post the name of the game that best matches the clue. If no one has guessed after a few attempts, "It" gives another clue. The person who guesses correctly then becomes "It" and posts a clue for a different game, and so on. If you've posted a guess, or if you are "It," check back every day to see if you've guessed right or if you need to identify the correct guesser, so the game continues smoothly!

(When thinking up clues, a good place to look for possible ideas is the GameBoomers collection of adventure walkthroughs -- plenty of inspiration there.)


I am currently IT.

Clue #1: Are all ghosts this friendly?

Clue #2: You call this art?

Ghost in the Sheet?

Good guess, but no.

Club #3: The humble coffee mug. Always more revealing than you'd think. Same thing with some of the portraits.

Blackwell Convergence?

That's it smulan! Over to you.

OK, here's my riddle:

Clue 1: Something's not right

Agatha Christie: Evil Under the Sun?

No

Clue 2: It's possible that I've made an error

Zork Grand Inquisitor?

Any game I play

No No

Clue 3: Just a few more weeks of work, and I should be free, at last

You'd think that a worker about to retire would be a common theme, but I'm blanking out! I remember Mephisto from Seven Games of the Soul was looking to retire, but I can't imagine him confessing to making an error.

Post Mortem??

No

at least you've all played it...pretty sure of that

Clue4: No, I must assume that she is all right, lest my fears undermine my efforts to bring her back

Riven?

Yeah

it was an easy one, admit it

Over to Becky

Smulan -- I think, sometimes when things are very familiar, you don't think as particularly about them as you might about something that's unfamiliar.

Clue #1: Paris vs. London

What could it be except a tale of two cities?

Back to you smulan!

Think I continue Beckystyle:

Clue one - conscious vs. subconscious

Overclocked?

Good guess but no cigar.

Clue 2 - returning home, 12 years gone

Black Mirror 2?

hmm, but no...

clue 3 - electrocuted, decapitated or perhaps impaled
